xperia ray has same chipset as galaxy w and it works USB otg function .then galaxy w can also be supported.isn't it ?
Someone should work on kernel to support USB OTG
If I can make the kernel better, I would prefer to complete the CM10 first than it
Isn't this Bulls.it enough?

This is getting tiresome.
*In addition* to a baseband chipset that supports USB OTG HNP (Host Negotiation Protocol), to function as a USB OTG Host, a device must also be equipped with a host controller chip (a.k.a Root Controller) that will perform (among others) the necessary 1) pull-up resistance, 2) signal switch, and 3) power supply instead of draw.
Xperia Ray comes with a host controller chip.
Samsung Galaxy W doesn't.
Now, stop bugging us with stupid requests!

Stop asking for USB OTG.

Galaxy Mini now can use USB OTG. But it's limited to only for flashdisk. Mini has no enough power to hold devices such as joystick. I am still confused about the main requirement of a device to use USB OTG. Is it the host controller or the kernel

In my experience, realhdmi is far from a perfect solution. But so far it is the best solution.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The concept seems simple, but I have no idea how difficult the implementation would be.
Use the HDMI as video out (it looks fine when I plug my Coby Kyros into my TV, seems a phone would be the same / better). Use the USB as a mouse - I know that Android is designed for touch screen, but I thought you could use a mouse for it.
Anyway, the concept seems simple, but perhaps my concept oversimplifies the matter.
If a 3rd party vendor could make a device independent dock, and price it reasonably, I think it would sell like hotcakes. At least, the same people that would buy the Coby (like me) to root it and do what they want with it would buy a 3rd party dock and use it with their phones.
My wife, who doesn't overly love technology, loved her driod when I finally conviced her to get it. If she could get a dock for it, she would likely never use her laptop.
A device specific dock seems ... ridiculous, for an open source platform.
I upgraded my Coby Kyros last night to Gingerbread - 2.3.1 using tipster's work over at (kyros-tablet-zone.team-talk.net).
I also did some research on the different Android offerings / versions.
Starting with 3.1, whose features were imported in 2.3.4, mice and other devices can now be attached via the USB cable.
After reading the snippet from the Android dev platform highlihts This seems good and bad in the quest for a generic dock. It looks like USB support may be app specific, and also may have hardware requirements (i.e. to use a dock, your phone may need to have some requirment for it.). I've pasted the snippet from the dev platfrom notes below.
(I'm still too new to post links)
developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.1-highlights.html
Connectivity for USB accessories
Android 3.1 adds broad platform support for a variety of USB-connected peripherals and accessories. Users can attach many types of input devices (keyboards, mice, game controllers) and digital cameras. Applications can build on the platform’s USB support to extend connectivity to almost any type of USB device.
The platform also adds new support for USB accessories — external hardware devices designed to attach to Android-powered devices as USB hosts. When an accessory is attached, the framework will look for a corresponding application and offer to launch it for the user. The accessory can also present a URL to the user, for downloading an appropriate application if one is not already installed. Users can interact with the application to control powered accessories such as robotics controllers; docking stations; diagnostic and musical equipment; kiosks; card readers; and much more.
The platform’s USB capabilities rely on components in device hardware, so support for USB on specific devices may vary and is determined by device manufacturers."

hey guys found a good intresting news..
samsung wave (senior wave) hardware is capable of usb hosting at full speed of 12mbps.
check this out.
pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2247&view=1&c=samsung_gt-s8500_wave_2gb
But unfortunately this feature is not available in bada.
hope future bada or android port enables us to use usb hosting.
Didn't knew flash is also EEPROM.
Wondering who said them that it has got USB Host mode, so far we can be sure that it has got hardware support for USB OTG.
Also nice to see that a 8GB version of the wave was planned but never reached the customer. But there muste be some some prototypes of it (found an early review of the 8GB wave somewhere).
That is so cool! In Samsung galaxy SL, android supports the OTG,but, the phone doesn't..and here, it is vice-verse!
is it possible to use On The Go cable "OTG cable" with our beloved Galaxy Wonder?

MSM8255 is *not* enough for USB OTG support.
You need the USB OTG Transceiver to perform as USB Root Controller.

And *you* should read carefully the link I give.
USB OTG is just a catchy name to denote a device that can act as a USB Peripheral *and* USB Host (of course, not at the same time) and how it is supposed to do such transformation magic.

OTG introduces the dual-role device (DRD), capable of functioning as either host or peripheral.

"Peripheral or Host" *is* USB OTG.
Before USB OTG Supplement was released, a USB Device can only act as Host *or* Peripheral, permanently.
After USB OTG Supplement is released, we now have an additional class of device called 'DRD' (Dual Role Devices) that can act as Host *and* Peripheral (but not at the same time).
To change MSM8255 into Host Mode requires a suitable driver.
BUT
the pinouts are completely wrong. Other USB Devices will never ever detect the W as a Host device.

That and all necessities of signaling (electrically) to other device that the W is now a Host.
The 'wiring' (maybe that's the more accurate term) is just plain wrong; pins that should be shunted to ground using a 1500 ohms resistor... don't get shunted. Signals that should have a certain polarity is inverted.
So, enabling Host Mode is USELESS.
Why would anyone develop something that will be USELESS?

Look, if you (or anyone) wants to develop a driver to flip the MSM8255 to Host Mode, no one will prevent you/him/her from doing it.
However, all drivers *must* be tested.
Now, since the W lacks the proper wiring ... how the heck can a developer test if the driver works or not?
And a slight correction: the USB component in the MSM8255 is *not* a controller; it's a microprocessor able to process the Host-side protocols. The controller is the combination of microprocessor + transceiver... and the W has a peripheral-only transceiver, not a switchable transceiver.
Please, READ the following article in its entirety: http://www.maximintegrated.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/1822
Let me quote the conclusion of the article:
Three additions make the transceiver OTG compatible:
Switchable pull-up and pull-down resistors on D+/D- to allow peripheral or host functionality.
Circuitry to monitor and supply 5V power on VBUS as an A-Device, and to monitor and pulse VBUS as a B-Device initiating SRP.
An ID input pin, which is made available as an output to the ASIC.
For this system to operate as a dual-role OTG device, the ASIC, DSP, or whatever is connected to the transceiver must be capable both of functioning as a peripheral or host, and of switching roles on-the-fly as a result of HNP.

The MSM8255 is "the ASIC, DSP, or whatever" part. The transceiver is yet another part. MSM8255 + USB OTG transceiver = USB OTG DRD Controller.

NOTE** ON NOUGAT THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON AOSP/LOS TYPE ROM'S IT WILL RUN ON OOS BUT WILL FAIL AFTER UP TO 10 MINUTES, OREO WORKS ON BOTH OOS AND AOSP /LOS
Hi All,
Have always wanted to be able to TV out from my android devices, gaming predominantly (but it works great with Keyboard and mouse for office type work and email)
I don't play all the time; but every now and again in work or whilst travelling it's a cool thing to do, especially when you can max it out on a TV and have very little input lag, bluetooth pad and a decent game.
In the past I've had a couple of connectors:
Samsung MHL (official) £27
Anker USB-C - HUB £39.99
Both did the job perfectly on previous devices quite well and have been re-used since when the tech was there to be used.
However with the Oneplus 5 and other similar devices (s8, LG G6, probably the U11 and the Pixel / Pixel 2) They did not include the hardware for us to be able to TV out with a cable that has worked in the past, like the ones I've listed.
Here's a good read on different USB-C devices just incase you'd like to see why this is and what OEM's are putting into their devices nowadays: https://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/usb-type-c-thunderbolt-3-one-cable-to-connect-them-all/
The good news is there's a way round it and the only way around it I've seen is to use Displaylink tech, for the most part they work quite well however there are some limitations, in the past for example you could charge your device at the same time; for whatever reason Displaylink doesn't allow that, you can power the dock but not the phone which is a shame, they're pretty expensive, although some are substantially cheaper than others.
Here's a proof of video, not doing too much just navigating menus, but it does work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXhPvW-aOtY
There is another downside which I'm trying to figure out (please if anyone can help with that I'd really appreciate it)
This does not work on OOS type ROM's for the moment. <----------Nougat only, Oreo is fine now.
If you are running LOS or AOSP type ROM's this will work perfectly, tested thoroughly with RR <------- Again this refers to Nougat only, Oreo works as expected with both OOS and AOSP/LOS
Here's the link to the dock / App and converter I'd suggest to use, it's small (ish) and with a USB-C to USB-A (female) converter it connects without fuss, you'd also need the Displaylink application for this to function.
Note* It's quite difficult to find one of these available now but if the Displaylink tech is the key to it then any adapter should work, I've also tested my 1+5 on a dual link display dock (targus) and that works fine too.

Just install the application
Connect the converter to the dock, power on the monitor / TV and then plug it in.

That's it.
Any questions let me know
Do the other ports on that that Targus dock work while using VGA/HDMI? For example, can I still use the extra USB port for a keyboard? What about the ethernet port?

Yes they all work as expected, i believe the Ethernet is the only one which doesn't, untested.

I'll test this today..
I'll also grab every kernel to see if they have a positive impact.
Fingers crossed.

what do you think about this: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B074GVM8V4?psc=1
or this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B074362CZC?psc=1
Low power mode from the app did nothing, froze at 8 mins.
Kernels next.

No none of them use display link technology so they will simply not be detected.
I have tried around 10 different docks, all of which work on my HTC 10 as it does have the hardware, but the OnePlus and literally all this year's flagships do not, I'd be interested to see if the HTC u11 had added the hardware for TV out.
Won't help us but it says a lot for HTC not complying to Google's standards.
Google for whatever reason actually have a USB-C - HDMI cable which they are still selling but it doesn't work on the pixel?? Figure that one out lol.
I do think that one of these Displaylink adapters which perhaps requires slightly less power will be perfect for what we need, so size wise you're heading in the right direction.
Here's the smallest one I've seen but haven't tested yet, I'm sure there are thousands out there.

its available on amazon for about 100$
seems the better solution because you dont need an usb-c adapter

Aye not cheap.
Soon as you put Displaylink on it it doubles in price...
I need to buy the cheaper,/ smaller option.
Testing with Resurrection remix, has been rolling Youtube now for over 2 hours without a single hang or hiccup.
Luckily RR now has the OOS camera installed which works almost as expected (missing exposure shots in pro mode and the depth effect notification)
Beyond that it's a beast of a ROM so i'll be sticking with this as everything I need now works.

Hi Dladz
Just wanted to let you know that I, for one, am watching this thread and others on which you are posting about displaylink and the OnePlus 5. I too am interested in using it as a retro console emulator and other things.
If you do find a way to get these displaylink devices working on the stock device - I'd love to know!!
[Also, as an aside, if you've found a good setup using RetroArch or other apps on this device, I'm sure there'd be others that would also appreciate your thoughts]
Thanks mate

Haven't used retro arch.
The best combination I've found is listed.
None of the kernels I've tried have changed anything at all, reason I hadn't mentioned anything is because I wanted to bring don't good news.
Best combo is for rooted phones.
Any ROM besides OOS type ROMs.
Personally using fusion as it has the OOS camera working pretty much perfectly.
Os wise there is little to no difference, even the battery life is amazing.
The power issue is beyond me, so unless a Dev wants to take a look I can't see it getting done.
Plus as I'm very happy with this ROM and there is very little if any reason to go back to OOS I think this is where it ends mate.
Thing is, it you're stock then it won't work, it you're rooted then there's no reason to stay with an OOS ROM, there are more options on non OOS, themes even work better.
Beyond that the only issue is the pricing, haven't bought the smaller dock yet, I'm still using the one I've listed.
Does work very well.
Updated OP for use with Oreo, now OOS allows usage past 10 minutes. Works really well.
Could you try and tell me if DRM protected apps (like Netflix) are working with this adapter? If you record your display it wont be shown.

No nothing is protected at all, it is usually around a 30-40fps mirror of what is on your device, couple it with a keyboard and mouse and it's a little computer , I use Citrix for work on it, it's absolutely superb, you would be forgiven for thinking it's a computer.
The rules that come with wireless devices like Chromecast do not apply here at all and never will.
Your only problem is actually buying the device, I've got several, two of which I like the rest are too big to carry around although they do provide much higher fps and sightly faster latency, but the small one I have listed does a great job, for media it's perfect, gaming is fine.
Is this really the least expensive option for wired display? I could buy a new monitor for the price of that Targus thing.
the other limitation is the resolution. just 1920 × 1080 possible. would be really cool if they update the driver to support higher res.

It would cripple performance
Uploading a new video showing PPSSPP in action with a little more clarity.
Running Oreo v 8.0 on xXx No Limits 9.5 with elemental X Kernel.
New video showcasing some games
Perfect on Oreo.
So im pretty pissed with google for removing the ability, cause i really love the desktop experience of the phone as a small laptop that i can carry anywhere with just an hdmi to usb-c and a wireless bluetooth keyboard.
I bought a cromecast (not the best buy of my life) ,and it not working for my needs.
-The sound only comes from the external screen.And it seem there is no easy way to make ur phone the sound output.
-cromecast 3 needs internet to work,that means if u dont have stable wifi you cannot use it at all,if u have a decent wifi connection its still has a hard time connecting,and it cripples other peoples wifi signal.
-I cannot use an hdmi to usb-c to cast my screen.And then have my bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Really bad move from google, but im asking here the community if they know about a mod to fix most of this stuff?Any help would be appriciated at this point.Is there a magisk mod or a .build way to fix the miracast and usb tethering ,in order for me to be able to use the cable?
I just replied to the thread above this one that there is a Magisk Module to enable Miracast for Pixel devices but I have not tried it. I only know of it because it's in magisk managers download section..

Hey that's my video!! Thanks for sharing it here. I just want to clarify that after testing the old Diamond USB 2.0 adapter (model# BVU195) that I used in the video I did discover that the video output got really jerky when there was a lot of full screen movement going on. I don't know if it's because it's the slow USB 2.0 connection or older DisplayLink graphics chipset. But I did end up buying a newer USB-C powered DisplayLink Certified ASUS MB169B+ Portable monitor and the video output was smooth at full screen on it.
